So Very Queer.

shes very queer yet Kind 10 those
Who hear her story out,
The young folks thinks she hardly know
just what she talks about
H. eyes, Size SAYS, were brighter far
Than all the worlds above,
For they brought nearer than a star
The gentle light OF love.
Yes, she is queer, we all confess,
And yet her wrinkled face
Has such a wealth Of tenderness,
She needs no youthful grace
She talks Of one SO long away
And hearts so far apart;
She says, it seems but yesterday
That he was near her heart.
IT'S hard to make her comprehend
That she has told before
The story of a sailors end
Upon fricndless shore;-
She SAYS, he was TO duty true
And bravely met his doom,
Insisting that his eyes Of blue
Still guide her through the gloom.
Perhaps when We approach the shore
Where worldly journeys end,
We. too, may tell our stories DER
And younger ears ofIend;-
For age has thought from youth apart,
And only time can teach
The charity OF mind and heart
That ought to govern each.

1T is strange how some people are al
fectcd by the light air and six thousand
feet altitude of Cheyenne, SAID police
man Bean in recent conversat on, rs
recorded in the Cheyenne sun.
"A short time ago a book agent
reached here from Denver. lie was
rather cadaverous-looking chat. who
didn't seem to pack around more blood
in his constitution than the law allows.
As the tram neared Cheyenne he began
to glare around the car rs if he was
afraid somebody was going to slug him.
and when the news agent passed
through peddling some oranges he far
" yelled for them to take him away.
He was afraid of being killed. When he
reached here he got spells in the same
way. and had good deal Of bother
in soothing him.
when he wasn't fghty he told me
that he had often been troubled that way
when he reached any tolerably high
altitude. The last exc tement brought
on fresh spell. | learned afterward
that he never had any such attacks at
home. In my experience ut the depot

have been troubled in the same way.
This seems to be especially true OF

You remember that little fellow

The listener intim ltcd that he hadn't

effect of the altitude as the train near

reached here he had barricaded him

TO throw himself out of the window
when the trainmen forced their way in
and caught him. He was sure some
body was going TO kill him. | got him
away from the crowd AMI told him I'd
protect him. and finally got him quiet

him until they began TO descend from

old lady on the train was taken in the
same way. She got it into her head
that colored woman in the far end of
the car had foul designs upon her. Tn
til the train reached Cheyenne the UNI
fortunate daughter of Africa did not
dare move muscle for fear Of throw
ing the Old lady into commissions. Cases
Of this sort turn up often.
What sort Of people seem to be
most affected that way?' was asked.
They are generally thin-blooded

health, have got but little vital ty back
